Everyone knows it exists, but no one wants to talk about it. In our society, we are expected to grieve in silence. During the Victorian times, one wore black and remained in mourning for two years. Today, we are expected to "move on," "forget about them," and "stop crying" within days.... You are experiencing exactly what many bereaved parents experience..... you have to buy a new address book because all your friends disappeared. Hang in there. Have you attended a support group?
